Apple is probably working on a pro HTML authoring tool. Lets review the recent events:

Apple keeps Flash out of iOS;

Apple removes Flash from the Lion install, whoever wants it needs to get it from Adobe;

iWeb is missing from the iLife11 announcement while mail templates are demonstrated from something that felt like 1 hour.

So my take on this is the Web team is hard at work on a HTML5+JS pro authoring tool to obsolete Adobe Flash. In fact, all Apple needs to declare full out war on Adobe is to throw in a decent Photoshop replacement.

And lo and behold, between writing and publishing time Adobe concedes defeat and announces a flash-to-html tool. Flash is now irrelevant.

Remember the Lower Merion School District peeping tom principal ? The US Govt spent over half a million dollars to settle out of court and said principal from going to trial. So, in the future when someone refers to censorship to “protect the children” refer them to this case.

The Pope says technology causes confusion between reality and fiction. That’s, of course, opposed to his bible which everyone knows is complete fiction so it doesn’t confuse anyone.

Won’t someone think about the children ? No, really. Denmark and Sweden have a child porn blacklist 167 site long. AK Zensur of Germany analised it. Seems like only 3 (2%) actually had any type of child porn. Nobody cared to take the illegal sites down until the AK Zensur notified the hosting companies and they put them offline within the day. So, now, the Denmark/Sweden children pornography blacklist contains exactly zero child porn sites. Note to governments: if you’re using children as an excuse for censorship or for demagogic reasons, actually do something useful about child porn instead of insulting us all.
